Terroir salutes the Shepherds
Who needs a glass of Riesling?
The Shepherds in the field need a big glass of Riesling.
Why?
Because, while one angel initially informed them of the birth of the Son of God,
a multitude of angels then appeared to add gusto to the announcement…
and let’s be honest, one angel appearing is freaky enough but when a metric tonne of angels
(God, of course, is all about the metric system as it possesses divine symmetry)
appear, it would be like the members of Black Sabbath,
standing over you while you are napping,
singing “The Wizard” to you and you alone…
your psyche and soul would just explode.
Because, being a shepherd pays barely above the minimum wage in N.Y.C....
just ask Zohran.

Because, they were now entrusted with spreading the news
of Jesus’s birth to the world at large. We do not know exactly why God
did not first inform Abe Rosenthal at The New York Times
or the religious leaders in the Temple or Anderson Cooper or a King of this news.
Rather, He chose the seemingly simplest of people and, therefore,
redrafted the Peter Parker Principle to read:
with little to no power comes great responsibility.
Lordy, to those shepherds in the field,
we raise a salmanazar of Riesling.
